Remember, you can watch the Superpowers for Good show on e360tv. To watch the episode, download the #e360tv channel app to your streaming device–Roku, AppleTV or AmazonFireTV–or your mobile device. You can even watch it on the web.Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Richard: We are trained–this is what I have used–what is called inductive reasoning. In inductive reasoning, what happens is you're given a solution, and you say, “Now, what problem can I solve with this?” That's upside-down thinking to a lot of people. But it's what we've been able to do–what I've done with everything, every new technology that's landed on my desk. I pick it up and go, “Wow! I don't know what the heck to do with this, but I'm going to try to find something.”Archimage founder and President Richard Buday built an architectural firm that used the skills and technologies of architecture to create visually appealing and educational video games.He explains how this happened:I've often had this discussion with other architects who say, “Richard, looks like you're having a lot of fun, but it's not architecture.”In fact, it is architecture. My firm began in 1983 under another name. We were early adopters of computers at that time. It was computer-aided design or computer-aided drafting, and we were just coattailing onto what was called the computers and architecture revolution at the time.As we were early adopters, we were getting the attention of new software companies, one of which was Autodesk. We knew the original founders of that company, and we became early alpha and beta test sites for a lot of their products, including their animation software. One thing led to another and 20 years into our almost 40-year history, we were doing video games. That's the short story, but it's still architecture.Here's a promo video for one of the games Archimage created.In Richard's work, he honed his ability to use inductive reasoning, making it a superpower.AI Episode Summary1. Richard Buday is the founder and president of Arc Image, an architectural firm that has ventured into video gaming.2. Richard's firm was an early adopter of computers in architecture, which caught the attention of companies like Autodesk. This led to their involvement in animation software and, subsequently, video gaming.3. Arc Image developed "serious video games" with Baylor College of Medicine to promote healthy behaviors, including a game designed to assist single-parent moms with children's eating and exercise habits.4. Richard reflects on architecture's role in society and advocates for incorporating narrative transportation theory into building design, making architecture more meaningful and communicative.5. Discussing the dangers of aging condo buildings, specifically high-rises, Richard points to the collapse of a tower in Florida as a symptom of homeowner association boards failing to address necessary repairs and maintenance due to psychological and social dynamics.6. Richard writes about various topics, including the challenges of maintaining aging condominiums and their reliance on homeowner boards for critical decision-making and funding.7. He sees his superpower as the ability to apply inductive reasoning: taking a solution and finding problems it can solve. This has allowed him to explore new directions in technology and architecture.8. Richard advises others to learn inductive reasoning skills and understand narrative transportation theory, which can powerfully influence behaviors for good or ill.9. To read Richard's writings on architecture and his views on persuasive design, he directs readers to Common Edge.org, where most of his articles are published.10. Richard Buday can be reached for further discussion and inquiries about his work through his email at arbor_day@archimage.com and his website archimage.com. He is open to engaging with interested individuals on relevant topics.How to Develop Inductive Reasoning As a SuperpowerRichard shared a story to illustrate how he used inductive reasoning to full effect during his remarkable career:We were working on Buena Vista's work for Walt Disney. Of course, Disney has its own animators. But we were brought in because we had an architect's eye that we could apply to the animation that was needed for those kinds of projects.But our whole path from standard architectural planning and designing, working with buildings and interiors to virtual environments–cities, societies living inside of a computer–came about because we were trying to find ways to apply our new technology to new kinds of projects. After a while, we started thinking along those lines. We had a tagline for the firm for many years called “Designing what's next.”By following Richard's example, you can make inductive reasoning a skill that enhances your work. With practice, you could hone it into a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In Episode #050, the final episode of the first year of the How I Lawyer Podcast, I speak with not one but two incredible law firm pro bono counsels about their careers and how to integrate pro bono work into any legal practice. My first guest is Tiffany Graves who is Pro Bono Counsel at Bradley where she runs the firm's pro bono programs across ten offices. Prior to joining Bradley, Tiffany was the Executive Director of the Mississippi Access to Justice Commission an organization created by the Mississippi Supreme Court in order to improve access to civil justice and civil legal aid. She also served as the interim director of the University of Mississippi School of Law's Pro Bono Initiative and Executive Director of the Mississippi Volunteer Lawyers' Project. She is also an adjunct professor at the University of Virginia School of Law and the Co-President of the Association of Pro Bono Counsel. My second guest is Ellyn Haikin Josef who is Pro Bono Counsel at Vinson & Elkins based in Houston, Texas. Ellyn has been leading Vinson & Elkins's pro bono work for 13 years and is a recognized expert in the field. Prior to joining the firm, Ellyn was a staff attorney at the Houston College of Law Legal Clinic. In our conversation we discuss what they do each day in the role of pro bono counsel, the ways in which their firms select pro bono projects, the professionalization of their field and its impact on the quantity and quality of pro bono law projects to lawyers today, how all lawyers (not just junior lawyers) can and should build pro bono into their practice and what they can gain personally and professionally from the experience, what questions law students can ask to determine the actual commitment of individual firms to pro bono work, and what you can do in 2022 to use your law degree (or future law degree) to help your community. It was an inspiring conversation for me and I am sure it will be for you as well. The two articles mentioned in the episode are available here: 1. David Lash, The Case for Professionalizing Pro Bono Services 2. Esther F. Lardent, Making the Business Case for Pro Bono Many thanks for listening all year.

A few months ago, I briefly mentioned on a podcast that I discovered that by taking a specific blend of nutrients to support my vagus nerve, I was able to completely get rid of morning constipation. Today, my podcast guest, Dr. Diana Driscoll, is the individual who actually designed that blend, and who knows a heckuva lot about the vagus nerve and its interplay with our bodies. Dr. Diana Driscoll is an optometrist who had always been healthy - she was also a bit of an exercise fanatic who also geeked out with nutrition. But despite this history, she was struck down by an illness that few understood and was disabled for over a decade. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with something called POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) - a disorder of the autonomic nervous system and was told there was no cure for this mysterious condition. When her children also became ill and doctors had no answers, she formed Genetic Disease Investigators to formally study these conditions. Dr. Driscoll is considered to be “the patients researcher”, bypassing notoriously slow academic research institutions to get answers quickly. Twelve years later, she is now the director of POTS Care – the only POTS Clinic focused on searching for the underlying cause of POTS, and treating it at its source. She has received two patents to date, and is now not only helping patients who are ill -- she is reaching out to healthy folks who want to improve their quality of life and maximize their health, even into old age. Dr. Driscoll graduated summa cum laude from both The University of Houston College of Optometry and The University of Texas at Austin. She is a geek, through and through. She is a member of the International Society of Neurovascular Disease, the American Headache Society, the Medical Advisory Board for EDS Network C.A.R.E.S, the American Optometric Association, the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society, and served as a medical advisor for the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation.   Her peer-reviewed medical abstracts include those involving vascular abnormalities in the fundus of POTS patients, the etiology of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and the use of acetazolamide in multiple sclerosis.

Six years after its enactment, Obamacare remains one of the most controversial, divisive, and enduring political issues in America. In this much-anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed Unprecedented: The Constitutional Challenge to Obamacare (2013), Professor Blackman argues that, to implement the law, President Obama has broken promises about cancelled insurance policies, exceeded the traditional bounds of executive power, and infringed on religious liberty. At the same time, he writes that conservative opponents have stopped at nothing to unravel Obamacare, including a three-week government shutdown, four Supreme Court cases, and fifty repeal votes. Author Joshua Blackman and Michigan Law Professor Nicholas Bagley joined us to discuss the book and the saga of Obamacare. -- Featuring: Prof. Josh Blackman, Author, Unraveled: Obamacare, Religious Liberty, & Executive Power, Associate Professor of Law, Houston College of Law and Prof. Nicholas Bagley, Assistant Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School.

This initiative, which provides after school enrichment to elementary students in both apartment-based sites and school-based sites, has been supported by community organizations, the district, as well as an army of trained high school volunteers. Many of these volunteers return to the district to serve as certified educators or instructional support staff. They discuss what makes this program unique and the joys of teaching, and even learning from, some of our youngest learners.
